Re: Wearable AI technology
As wearable AI technology such as AI glasses becomes more common, we want to remind students that these devices fall under our mobile device policy. Just like smartphones, smartwatches, and wireless headphones, AI-powered wearables must not be worn or used during the school day. This ensures that our classrooms and common spaces remain focused, respectful, and free from digital distractions. Students are asked to store these devices safely in their lockers or bags until after school hours.
MORE GREAT SPACES
To celebrate and honour the donors who are supporting More Great Spaces, we have planned a special installation to be located directly across from the new Library on the school’s main floor, called the Donor Book Nook. We’ve reached 70% of our $10 million campaign goal. If you have not participated in this game-changing project, now’s the time to get involved and add your book to this meaningful display. Help raise the last 30%!
Annual Fund
Thank you to everyone who has already donated to the Annual Fund! If you haven’t made your gift yet, please click here. When you do, York’s Board of Directors will match your gift up to $45,000 to support our students.
Athletics
We wish all of our U9 to U12 athletes the best of luck as they compete in their final CISAA festivals in the coming days. These positive athletic experiences propel our athletes to continue participating in sport/physical activity throughout their lives.
